Well, I hope Kosta will upload Shadow soon, so see for yourself is it really worth talking.
Never heard of this game...

Sadly a bug prevents me from playing Discworld Noir on windowsXP
I tried Grim Fandango and MI4 from the newer Lucas Adventures.

I do not like the interface of the "new" Lucas Arts adventures. They don't use any real features they could with the pseudo 3d engine.

I hated the puzzle with the sign in the forest in Grim Fandango. I know that it's not that complex, but it destroyed the fun in the game for me. I do not like getting stuck in Adventures.

Damm...that is such a nice puzzle...

And doesn`t like to be getiing stucked in adventures?????? :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:

That`s why it`s all about in adventures...thinking, trying and then on a later moment getting a great idea (can sometimes be days...) and then solve the puzzle...and then thinking: Damm...why didn`t i saw that earlier...

That`s just what i like about adventures...when i can rush through all without thinkng then it`s not a great adventure for me...even not when they got great humor and a good story you still miss something...you simply need to push youre brains to another level...to get that real adventure spirit...

Damm...hopefully someone gets what i tried to say...i just love "good thinking" adventures :angel: k:

actually grim fandango had quite a few annoying puzzles which involved the player to move around carefully.
In the petrified forest twice:
one with that sign, and the other time with that tree.
and another time in Rubacava with the metal detector and the scythe.

And one annoying puzzle was when you were trapped at the Edge of the World.
it wasn't difficult... jsut a lot of running around.
Not to mention that moving around underwater was always so painstakingly slow.

Still, the wonderfull plot, the characters and the fantastic settings made it all worth it.
Actually the plot was quite unusual for a lucasarts adventuregame.
Most of them are just plain silly... while Grim fandango carries a deep message about our society while still managing to be silly and not too preachy.

I'd say Grim fandango is to adventuregames what Antz was to 3Dfilms
sophisticated while still managing to be funny...

Wow, only one mention of the Space quest games.... What is wrong with you peoples.... :angry: ... :P
Really, I love the SQ games, especially number 3. That game is awesome.
I also love the Maniac Mansion/Day of the Tentacle games. Lots of memories in those games too.
The Monkey Island games especially 1-3 were also awesome.
Grim Fandango is an exceptonally good game that I am very glad that I bought.

Well there are others, but they are probably my favourites.

Space Quest is a very good game
but it annoyed me.
At one point in the game you open a locker or something
there is a machine in there (or an object)
How was I supposed to know what the object is called?!
I tried everything with the commandlines

>look
look at what?
>look at object
look at what object?
>look at object in locker
Can't find 'object'

and so on and so on.
Did I miss something, some piece of information on this 'object'?
or was it just impossible to pick up without following a walkthrough
surely it can't be that.

I think it is...
the humor in the other lucasarts games got predictable after some time.
